[Verse 1] Last dollar just got spent First of the month comes Got to pay rent Where'd the money go Slipping through my hands I'm working with these hands Little Johnny needs a lunch box Little Suzy needs clothes and it won't stop Banks calling us up And they don't care It's more than I can bare [Pre-Chorus] I gotta, gotta believe I can more then survive Still one trick up my sleeve We're gonna make this one shine (x2) [Chorus] I, I'm at the edge of my life I got no time to think twice When I'm standing with the weight Of the world on my shoulders I, I'm gonna fight the good fight Cause I, I know I'll get by When I battle everyday through the pain like a soldier [Verse 2] Mom crying on the sofa Dad comes home but he's not sober Where'd the family go Up in smoke again Feels just like sinking sand Heard shouts in the backyard (Hey!) Sirens ringing from a cop car It's a rough day For this family man I'm praying with these hands [Pre-Chorus] I gotta, gotta believe I can more then survive Still one trick up my sleeve We're gonna make this one shine (x2) [Chorus] I, I'm at the edge of my life I got no time to think twice When I'm standing with the weight Of the world on my shoulders I, I'm gonna fight the good fight Cause I, I know I'll get by When I battle everyday through the pain like a soldier [Bridge] Just don't look down And you'll never fall [Chorus] I, I'm at the edge of my life I got no time to think twice When I'm standing with the weight Of the world on my shoulders I, I'm gonna fight the good fight Cause I, I know I'll get by When I battle everyday through the pain like a soldier
